For a vocal/voiceover mic loud sounds are not a concern. (The U87 has a pad switch for those cases separate from the proximity/EQ switch.)

The things you mention (vibrations, LF rumble) are typically handled by the highpass on the mic preamp and are in the 75 or 80Hz range. In musical terms, that's 4+ octaves below the 1k proximity rolloff on the mic itself.
